Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé

4.0

At first, this wasn't my type of book. But, the more I kept reading it the more I liked it. The topics it brought up needed to be talked about more. Some of the things they were talking about, I've thought myself a few times. Like systematic racism, and skin color treated like a weapon. The plot was eh. There was a lot of stuff there that shouldn't have been. Like being on TV isn't realistic. Founded by slave "funders" like c'mon now. It brought up some good topics, but it wasn't realistic. It's like they were fighting money and privellge with money and privellge. The only reason they got justice was because he posted a tweet. When the supporters (idk what to call them) broke in it felt so random. Like no mention of a plan, no mention of anything. They just knew when to break in and kill everyone. No one is questioning why Terrell is going through Devons messages. I understand If he was his boyfriend and he wanted to know who he's talking to, but man thats your friend. This whole Aces operation was downright creepy.
